Image Compressor Tool

Image Compressor Tool:

Creating a fully functional image compressor tool within HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can be quite complex due to the limitations of browser-based image processing. However, I can provide you with a simplified version of an image compressor that uses the HTML <input type="file"> element to select an image file and then compresses it using the canvas element. This example will not achieve high compression ratios but can provide a basic understanding of how such a device might be implemented.

Features of Image Compressor Tool:

• File Input: Allows the user to select an image file from their device.
• Compress Image Button: Starts the compression process when clicked.
• Compressed Image Display: Displays the compressed image below the button.

How it Works:

• When the user selects an image file using the file input, the compressImage() function is called.
• The function reads the selected file using a FileReader, and when the file is loaded, it creates a new Image element and sets its Source to the loaded data URL.
• When the image is completely loaded, it is drawn onto the canvas element using the drawImage() method.
• The canvas is then converted to a JPEG data URL using the toDataURL() method with a specified quality (0.5 or 50%).
• Finally, the compressed image data URL is assigned to the src attribute of the img element, and it is displayed on the page.
